The industry’s premier US-friendly online poker room, Americas Cardroom, has introduced the Re-Entry tournament feature to their tournaments. This feature allows players to get right back into a tournament after having busted out.

There is nothing worse than getting sent to the rails right after the opening of a poker tournament, especially in the case of a big tournament that you have been waiting all week or all month to participate in. With the Re-Entry feature, players that get knocked out of a tournament have the option to get right back into the action at a new table with a fresh stack of chips at the cost of the tournament’s buy-in.

Re-entry tournaments function in exactly the same way as any other with one exception; when knocked out, a player is asked whether they would like to re-enter. If the player chooses “yes” then the cost of the tournament buy-in deducted from the player’s account and the player is re-seated at a brand new table where players are unfamiliar with their style. Players may re-enter tournaments as many times as they wish while late tournament registration is still open.
